“Water Collection IV” from the Water Ripples, Gentle Tide collection. In Florida, we are surrounded by water. I find the sound and the appearance of the gentle ripples relaxing and inviting.

Responsible living may help transform our world to protect it and reverse some of the ecological damage we’ve inflicted.
